Steve Boles is so helpful and willing to start the process. If you plan on attending please send an application for your horse you want to have inspected or complete a performance test. We don’t have the finances to do the inspection out of the membership fees, which makes it necessary to know how many horses are coming to determine our expenses. YOU are asked now to commit!!! There are volunteers and enthusiastic people ready to start to organize the inspection. Judges have to be selected, invited, flights and locations to be booked to make it a second time a successful inspection!!! It is not possible without your commitment. Please contact Steve at: sboles@hsc.edu as soon as possible or the summer is gone and another year without inspection. It’s up to you to let us get started!!!! We also have the ISG meeting in Babolna, 11.-13.July 2014. Are you interested to be a learner judge and participate at the seminar there? We need the Performance Shagya-Arabian Registry information about who wants to go to Babolna; we do have to inform the ISG as soon as possible.

After many discussions with concerned ASAV members, it is agreed that only together we are strong. Alone or in little groups not affiliated with the ISG the horses are only a whisper in the wind. We have spoken with several Shagya-Arabian and part-bred Shagya-Arabian owners, mostly ASAV members, about the need to have their horses registered and recognized by the ISG. We listened to their concerns and questions and tried to find a solution within our bylaws. Unanimously, the PShR has decided the following: *To offer to register any horse with an ASAV registration for free until the 1. July 2014. *To waive the registration fee, but the horse owner must pay a Membership fee of $35(Year) *Purebred Shagya-Arabians will be registered in the internationally accepted Books, conforming to international standards. *Owners of part-bred Shagya-Arabians will be eligible for our Sport horse register. To promote the future of the Shagya in the US and Canada, we want to extend to you the opportunity to register your Purebred Shagya-Arabians and Part-bred Shagya-Arabians with PShR. The PShR invites you to add yourself and your wonderful horses into the ISG registry to strengthen and promote this precious Breed. We all hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely in the name of all PShR Board of Directors.

Our winner of the PShR mug was Lene Moellgaard of Denmark. Inside Story Headline Shagal [2906 Shagya III, Babolna] Bred by Ulla Nyegaard, Denmark.

Below is a picture of the tablet for Shagya VI (Shagya III-1). Being named Shagya III-1 means this is the first colt by Shagya III (Shagal) to be used as a stallion. Once the colt becomes a Chief Shagya Stallion he receives a Roman Numeral = Shagya VI. Shagya News Edited by Anke Brander (Editor’s Note: Dr. Walter Huber is an esteemed member of the Board of Directors of the ISG (International Shagya Araber Gesellschaft) and dear friend of the PShR. He submitted the story of his beloved stallion, Shagal, to Anke Brander who edited his narrative so it could be shared with our readers.) Dr. Huber fell in love with Shagal the first time he saw him in November of 1985 at the stallion approvals in Darmstadt, Germany. Shagal was named ‘Champion, Best in Show’ in 1979 and the European Champion Shagya Stallion in 1986. In 1985, Shagal was approved for Trakehner breeding by the Trakehner Verband in Munster Handor, Germany. It took several years of negotiations with the owner of Shagal in Denmark before he could finally welcome the stallion to his home in January of 1987 . class. The judge Dr. Daniel Antunovits, a former director in Babolna, commented Shagal was the “best stallion in the last 20 years”. In 1990 Shagal returned to Denmark. Dr. Huber heard positive stories about Shagal’s breeding prowess, but under saddle, things did not go so well. Shagal required a rider who would accept his strong personality. But this special From Dr. Huber: “Riding him was interesting Dr Huber and Grand Champion Shagal in Baden and a pleasure. I had to win him rider was not to be found in as a friend and partner. I Denmark. Dr Huber knew if learned quickly there is no the stallion was treated with chance with force.

So, in the best joyed many successful interest of all parties, Dr. Hushows with Shagal, one of ber negotiated to bring Shagal the most memorable, was back to his stable.

With great care, kindness and months of conditioning with only trail riding , Shagal recovered. Mares were brought from everywhere in Europe, including Babolna. Dr. Huber remembers especially one mare that he did not think would be a good match, the mare ‘162 Amer' (Amer (ox) x 57 Gazal IX). However, Walter says now, “Tamas Rombauer was right, her Shagal son is today Shagya VI (1994, Babolna) and an excellent jumper.” Shagya VI became the best breeding stallion by Shagal in Babolna. His offspring were very successful at the European Cham- PAGE V (1995, Babolna) and Shagya VI (1994, Babolna). In 1996, Shagal returned to Walter Huber’s. During this time, which became Shagal’s final homecoming, they enjoyed their last Foxhunt. Upon retirement Shagal was sent to Ireland and stood the stud of Mr. Boepple, a Trakehner breeder. This was quite a difficult decision as Shagal was now 20 years old. Walter negotiated for specific conditions for his favourite stallion - a large stall with direct access to a big pasture. Upon agreement to these terms Shagal moved to Ireland. Myrtle Lodge Sport Horses in Ireland bred several mares to Shagal at that time. At first, he lived with a mare L to R: Champion Filly Shagya VI-1 [Shagya VI x 253 Kemir v] and Champion Mare Tigra [Ramiro x Tifla], Marbach 2013 as companion, but he was not pionship in Marbach 2013 with content.

Shagal's influence has been extensive in the US through his sons *Budapest (1986, Nyegaard) and *Shandor (1983, Nyegaard), both great stallions in their own right inheriting Shagal's size, wonderful disposition and versatility.

Performance Shagya-Arabian Registry 5 PAGE 6 Inside Story Headline Lene Moellgaard My name is Lene Moellgaard, I am in my late 40'ies, and live in Denmark. I was so lucky to win the PShR mug in the contest in last issue of the magazine, for which I want to say thank you very much to the BOD of PShR! I was very happy to be able to join the contest, even when living in Europe and just being member of the PShR Facebook Group. Thanks! www.moellgaard.dk is a great source for links about Shagya horses and associations in addition to Aika dogs. Shagya News I was then asked in return to write a little about myself, and that is what I have tried to do in the following lines... I have been interested in Horses since I was a child, and started riding when I was 10 at a local "Pony Club". The club was owned by a lady, who was one of the pioneers in DK, when it came to importing ponies from UK, and then cross them with Purebred Arabians to get bigger and lighter ponies as riding ponies for children. This was what later became the foundation for the "Danish Sport Pony" breeding. Through her breeding program, and her horses, I learned what difference it makes, when you use the Arabian horses for crossing. Not only were the ponies bigger, they had better movements, were easier to handle, more "spirited" in a positive sense - and they also were beautiful to look at :-) This was what triggered my interest in the Arabian horse. I read the magazines and books of this lady, and whatever literature I came across, and at some point I decided that once I would get to get my own horse, it should definitely be an Arabian horse! It didn't quite happen like this, since my first own horse, which I got in 1993, was a cross between a Thoroughbred and a Frederiksborger - but she had a lot of the same characteristics, which I love about the Arabian horse... Intelligence, a people- Performance Shagya-Arabian Registry orientated mind, versatile, elegant - and a real friend and companion. Eventually I was considering making a foal from her, so I started investigating the stallions that were at the market... Of course it should be an Arabian stallion so I got the stallions list from both the Purebred Arabian and the Shagya Arabian part of the Danish Society for Arabian Horsebreeding - and this was, when I first learned about the Shagya Arabian breed. I never came to breed her (would rather ride her), but my interest in the Shagya Arabian horses was founded. Some years later the internet got into our home, and I started investigating the breed, and getting in touch with fanciers from around the Globe. Since I know both Danish, German and English I was able to communicate with people from the countries that are most into the Shagya Arabian breeding, and learn from a lot of them about both their horses, their breeding programs, and about the 6 MARCH, 2014 breed in general. I will not name any of them here in fear of forgetting someone, but they all know, who they are so a big thank you all for your patience in answering all my silly questions over the years. My interest in the breed led to my next horse being a Shagya Arabian mare - at that time (2001) a 2 year old filly - Carmen (by Bonjour Bajar out of Shamira by Shetan), and the year after her half sister Epona as a yearling (by Bonjour Bajar out of Söbo's Tara by O'Bajan). Both mares were bred by Fam. Gammelgaard, Studfarm Dyrehaven here in DK. I have had a lot of fun with my two girls over the years, even though I don't ride that much PAGE stories, news, knowledge and photos of our beloved horses. Besides the horses, my life has Please feel free to join, if you like! also been a lot about dogs. Over the years my ex and I I am also running the had Welsh Corgi Pembrokes, and later we had Akitas.

I have spent a lot of time show- know of any Shagya Arabian related site, I ing the dogs, training them, don't have in the list, just being with them - like please drop me an with my horses, and even email and I will include though I don't have any dogs in my live at the moment, I am it. sure I will again one day, I have also a couple of when I find I have the necestimes written articles for "Shagya Araber" the booklets from Ingrid Zeunert - you might know them, even though they are in German? living near Copenhagen as a riding horse.

Both of the mares were bred once - sire of both foals was the Dahoman stallion Daru (Djardan out of Tura by Dahoman XXXI). From Carmen came "Djacar" in 2004 and from Epona came "Evita" in 2005. Due to various circumstances Epona and Djacar are no longer with us. Carmen is still with me, now with her little young body "Fnuggi", a cross between a Shagya Arabian and a Danish Sports Pony.

It is just as unbelievable for me to write this as I am sure it is for you read this sad news. The loss of Svetlo is a tragedy on so many levels. The Shagya world lost an esteemed ISG judge with high standards and the knowledge of how to reach those standards. The Kabiuk State Stud in Bulgaria lost an excellent breeding manager; his knowledge is clearly visible in the horses present at this historical facility. The PShR lost a valuable mentor and supporter. And on a personal level, I have lost talks with a horseman I respected beyond words. Those of us fortunate enough to attend the PShR Inaugural Inspection were given the unexpected opportunity and unbelievable experience to learn from Svetlo. He pushed us to realize and appreciate the high standards our Shagya bred horses should be held to and the achievements they can accomplish. It was an honor to know and laugh with him. On behalf of the PShR members our sincere regards to his family “Nazdrave to Svetlo” You will be forever in our memory and heart. Respectfully, Linda Rudolphi Shagya News Performance Shagya-Arabian Registry 8 MARCH, 2014 PAGE 9 Biography Reprinted from the 2013 PShR Inspection Program Svetlozar Kastchiev is not only the Stud Manager of the Kabiuk State Enterprise in Bulgaria, he is also a National Dressage champion (10 times!) and twice was the Balkan dressage champion. He is the President of the East Bulgarian Horse Association and the Bulgarian Sport Horse Association, which are full members of World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses. In addition, Mr. Kastchiev is a national Dressage and Jumping judge and a FEI Eventing judge. The below picture is of Svetlo riding his East Bulgarian stallion Tarzan, Champions in dressage. Mr. Kastchiev has been breeding Shagya-Arabian horses for over 20years and has bred over 300 Shagya -Arabian foals for Kabiuk. Kabiuk is the only surviving state stud in Bulgaria, originally established in1864 as a military stud for the Turkish army. In 2004 under the Livestock Husbandry Act, the Kabiuk State Stud and Stallion Depot became a company owned by the state and governed by the Ministry of Agriculture in Bulgaria. Its key activities are horse breeding and the statefunded preservation of indigenous cattle and sheep. Breeds of horses include the Shagya-Arabian, the Eastern Bulgarian Warmblood, Thoroughbred, purebred Arabians, Haflingers (used on the farm as work horses) and Shetland ponies. The farm is 2832 hectares (6998 acres) of tillable crop land and lush pastures. The Kabiuk State Enterprise is a leader in artificial insemination – Mr. Kastchiev is a key part of that success. His keen eye for genetics and his ability to breed one of the most successful bands of Shagya-Arabians led to the acceptance of the Kabiuk Stud as an ISG member in 1998. The dynamic1988 Shagya-Arabian stallion Mefistofel (Metropol x Fregata by Fero), a result of Svetlo’s first year as stud manager, is an example of crossing athletic purebred Arabian bloodlines (Negatiw, Priboj, Moment, Faruk) with historic Shagya bloodlines (Parabel, Dahoman XLV) to achieve a strong yet elegant sporthorse. According to the book “Origin and Development of Arabian and Shagya-Arabian Breeds in Bulgaria” by Assistant Professor Iliyana Sabeva, Mefistofel is considered by some WestEuropean specialist as the best Shagya in Europe at this time. In addition, the Shagya-Arabian mare Mezinka SA, bred in Kabiuk, was named the 2007 Best Shagya mare in Denmark. When visiting Kabiuk, it quickly becomes apparent Mr. Kastchiev has a natural eye, and is able to select up and coming youngsters with potential from the herd. We are fortunate and honored to have the lifelong horseman Svetlo Kastchiev join us for our first PShR inspection.

For the "ISG Policy for the use of Frozen Semen" I tried to clarify the 3rd point: 3. .....due to the allowance of 2 test breeding between licensing and performance test completion, in which the HB I stallion can be used for breeding and progeny will be recorded as if a Book I stallion. Kathy second, the vote was unanimous. Inspection: Steve told us we do have 6 horses (plus eventually 2 from Canada) for the inspection.

He has a marvelous canter that you have to see to believe. A really exceptional trail horse, Max taught us all about distance-riding, as novices we really didn’t know what we were getting into. As a rider, what I like best about him is his built-in ability to take care of himself on-trail. He taught me how and when to shut down on an endurance ride and when to push.
